Statistically reinforced machine learning for nonlinear patterns and variable interactions

M Ryo, MC Rillig - Ecosphere, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Most statistical models assume linearity and few variable interactions, even though real‐
world ecological patterns often result from nonlinear and highly interactive processes. We …

Exploring species and site contributions to beta diversity in stream insect assemblages

J Heino, M Grönroos - Oecologia, 2017 - Springer
It was recently suggested that beta diversity can be partitioned into contributions of single
sites to overall beta diversity (LCBD) or into contributions of individual species to overall …
